I said he is not going to continue being the highest scoring center on the team. Not sure what you disagree with.

Hoffman was not very good defensively but he was still a game-breaker, which Boedker is not. Hoffman got people in the seats (and out of them); no-one pays money to watch a defensively responsible forward. Also it's pretty much a forgone conclusion that Dorion took less to move him out West, and he lost big when Wilson moved him right back to the Atlantic.

As for Karlsson, of course it's a given that he wasn't going to sign here, so if you take that into account it's a win. But if you are trading a once-in-a-generation type player under 30 you are not winning anything.

I am not disagreeing with you... On any of the above.

As for Nick Paul, he had his chances over the years. It goes to show how fine the line in between being an NHLer and an AHLer. It comes down to seizing opportunities. Lazar is another great example. He had his chances and he blew it.

Wonder who they are going to call up there has been a decent number of injuries in Belleville too."Joining Brown on the disabled list are — take a deep breath — Jim O’Brien (broken leg, six months); Filip Chlapik (twisted ankle, day to day); Marcus Hogberg (unspecified, but returning “no time soon,” according to Mann); Ben Sexton (unspecified, two to three weeks); and Andrew Sturtz (lower body, three to four weeks). Aaron Luchuk, who had been with Brampton in the ECHL, is also out with a concussion" as per Ken Warren

That sucks. 15 games or so I guess. Damn. Depending on our record that would dictate whether he stays up or goes down. If they somehow blow the next month, like worst team in the league type bad, then I guess send him down not to waste the year.
